Das Bundespolizeigesetz ist in die Jahre gekommen und soll nach einem nun veröffentlichten Referentenentwurf aus dem Bundesinnenministerium umfassend reformiert werden. Obwohl der Entwurf das Problem anerkennt, unternimmt er leider nur halbherzige Anstrengungen, um effektiv vor polizeilichem Racial Profiling zu schützen.

The last decade has seen growth in athletes using their public profiles to raise awareness over social justice-related issues such as police violence and racial injustice and to create change. In new research, Elizabeth Seagroves, Betina Cutaia Wilkinson, and Lisa Kiang examine what drives peoples’ reactions to sports activism, finding that those who support it … Continued

The Internal Revenue Service gets something north of 100 million individual tax returns each year. So how does the IRS decide how to deploy its 6,500 auditors? It counts on the computer programs to flag returns that seems more likely to be understating income. For example, a highly-paid two-earner couple might have income well into … Continue reading The IRS Audit Algorithm and Racial Effects

In April, the School of Social and Political Sciences, in collaboration with the Justice and Inequality research priority of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, will be hosting Mike Savage, Martin White Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics. He has a longstanding interest in the social and historical sources of inequality, within and across nations. From 2015 to 2020 Mike was Director of the LSE's International Inequalities Institute, and his most recent book is The Return of Inequality: Social Change and the Weight of the Past (Harvard University Press, 2021), praised by Thomas Piketty as a "major sociological contribution to the ongoing global debate on inequality and the return of social class".
During Mike's visit, we will be holding two public events: a forum on ‘The Eternal Return of the Rentier? How Our Past Weighs on Our Future’ and a public lecture on ‘The Racial Wealth Divide’ (details below). In addition, we will be holding two closed workshops: one on the hold of finance on public policy (and how to loosen or break it) (April 4-5) and another on the methodological and theoretical challenges facing inequality researchers at a time of escalating inequality (April 16). These events are invitation-only, but spaces are available – please contact martijn.konings@sydney.edu.au for further information.
Public lecture: The Racial Wealth Divide
10 April, 5:30-7 pmLecture Theatre 208, Veterinary Science Conference Centre, The University of SydneyPlease register to attendOver the past decade, escalating wealth inequalities have become apparent across the globe. It is increasingly evident that this is driven not by anonymous forces like "globalization" or "capital", but by elites who enjoy disproportionate power and influence. This lecture addresses the intellectual and political challenges posed by this trend. Most fundamentally, how should we define, measure, and track this wealth, given that its growth stems at least in part from elites' ability to stay under public, scholarly, and regulatory radars? How does wealth inequality reinforce racial, gender and other divides, and how does it shape social mobility and life chances across numerous domains? And what strategies could effectively advance the growing public interest in taxing wealth as a means to address entrenched wealth inequalities? This lecture discusses how wealth accumulation is underwritten by legal devices such as the 'non-domicile' tax regime; shows the roots of this in British imperial history, and considers the prospects for tax justice.

Blog: Lage der Nation - der Politik-Podcast aus Berlin
Wir bleiben am Puls der Diskussion über die richtigen Konsequenzen aus dem Anschlag vom Breitscheidplatz und stellen euch die Vorschläge des Bundesinnenministers vor, der massiv Sicherheitsaufgaben von den Ländern auf den Bund verschieben will - unter anderem sollen die bisherigen Landesämter für "Verfassungsschutz" abgeschafft werden. Außerdem besprechen wir euer Feedback zum Thema Videoüberwachung und gehen ausführlich auf die Kölner Polizei-Kessel in der Silvesternacht und die Diskussionen um "racial profiling" ein. Schließlich: Christopher Lauer outet einen braven Bank-Angestellten als AfD-Anhänger, indem er dessen eMail auf Twitter veröffentlicht - legal oder illegal?
Ein angenehmes Wochenende und viel Freude mit der neuen Lage
Philip und Ulf

Information about the wealth gap between Blacks and whites increases Americans' awareness of disparity, but does little to increase their support for affirmative action, reparations Since the "racial reckoning" of 2020, Americans have become increasingly aware of the barriers Black people face to accessing economic opportunities and achieving intergenerational mobility. But despite widespread knowledge that […]

This is my new article, forthcoming in the SMU Law Review. Larry Solum's legal blog says its "highly recommended," and you can download it here. Meanwhile, here is the abstract: Hundreds of law review articles have discussed the legality of affirmative action programs. Virtually all of them begin with the implicit assumption that the racial…

It is hard to overstate the importance of the new study on intergenerational racial disparities by Raj Chetty and his colleagues at the Equality of Opportunity Project. Simply put, it will change the way we think the world works. Making good use of big data—de-identified longitudinal data from the U.S. Census and the IRS covering…
